Apologies for the mistake. You are correct. The improper fraction is indeed 25/20.
To identify an improper fraction, we need to understand what it is. An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the number on top) is equal to or greater than the denominator (the number on the bottom). In other words, the numerator is equal to or greater than one whole unit.
Let's examine the given options:
1) 20/25: Here, the numerator (20) is smaller than the denominator (25), so it is not an improper fraction.
2) 2 9/7: This is a mixed number, not a fraction. A mixed number consists of a whole number (2 in this case) and a proper fraction (9/7). Therefore, it is not an improper fraction.
3) 25/20: In this case, the numerator (25) is larger than the denominator (20). Therefore, this is an improper fraction.
4) 7 2/9: Again, this is a mixed number, not a fraction. It consists of a whole number (7) and a proper fraction (2/9). So it is not an improper fraction.
Hence, the improper fraction is 25/20.
